Sorry For The Late Notice!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

 Volunteer Work Party TOMORROW, Saturday, August 13th

at the Balboa Park Rube Powell Archery Range, 8am

(and possibly, the Morley Field Archery Range, too)

This is expected to be a short work party at Balboa, making a few bales (6-10 bales).

If everyone is motivated, the bales will be trucked over to the Morley Field Archery Range and used to replace worn out bales there.

Some clean up at Morley Field is needed, too.

IMPORTANT: If you are able to help for even an hour or two, please send an email to SanDiegoArchers@yahoo.com for more details about joining the work party. Because the work party will be in a remote area of the Balboa Range and possibly moving between the two archery ranges, we would like to give you contact information for the Work Party Captains, so you are able to find them.

Wear sturdy shoes, bring work gloves and safety goggles, if you have them!

The San Diego Archers truly appreciate your help. Both archery ranges in Balboa Park are maintained by volunteer efforts alone. If each member (non-members welcome, too!) contributed just one hour of volunteer work on either range, we would have two of the nicest looking ranges in California. 

Anyone who volunteers at a work party shoots for free in their next tournament! Coffee and bagels will be available for volunteers.

The Field Round includes:

28 2D Paper Field Targets

4 Arrows per Target

Maximum Score: 560

The Field Round is a field archery tournament of 28 2D paper targets, firing 4 arrows per target from WHITE colored stakes for a total of 112 arrows. There are 3 scoring zones on each target. Each arrow scores either 3 points fro the black outer ring, 4 for the white middle ring or 5 for the black bull’s eye. There is a center ‘X’ ring to the inner 5 point zone.

 A total of 20 points is possible per target, a perfect round is 560.

Field Rounds are at ‘even’ (5 yd) distances up to 80 yards, with the shortest distances measured in feet. 

Targets may have different shooting positions:

1)  All four arrows shot from one marked stake.

2)  “Fan”:  Each arrow is shot from a different marked stake, spread in a fan pattern, each stake at the same distance to the target.

3)  “Walk Up”:  Each arrow shot from a different marked stake at decreasing distances to the target.

(e.g., one arrow each at 45, 40, 35, 30 yards; or two arrows each at 45 and 40 yards.)

For Youth, under 15, the longest distance is 50 yards.

For Cubs, under 12, the longest distance is 30 yards.

The 3D Round includes:

28 3D targets

1 arrow per target

NO RANGE FINDERS ALLOWED!!

A wide range of high quality Rhinehart and Mackenzie targets are set in various hunting scenarios.  Only one arrow per target is allowed unless mulligans have been purchased.  A maximum of two mulligans and one or two doe tags may be purchased at registration for an additional $1 each. 

As an unmarked shoot, you have to estimate the distance to the target yourself without the assistance of a range finder. This is a difficult and challenging aspect of these shoots, so don’t let your shooting partners know what you think the distance is!

Scoring: 10-8-5

Maximum Score: 280 

Mulligans and Doe Tags:

If you missed or scored low with the first arrow, a mulligan allows you to take another shot at a target.  If you use a mulligan, your score is determined by that second arrow, even if you score worse than the first arrow.  You may use a second mulligan on the same target.  Your score is determined by the last arrow shot.  

There will be 1 or 2 buck-doe spreads in the field, where the doe placed between the buck and the archer.  If you hit the doe and do not have a doe tag, you score -5 on the target. If you have a doe tag, you score zero.  You cannot use a mulligan if you hit the doe, whether or not you have a doe tag.  If you hit the buck or miss completely, you may use a mulligan and your score is determined from that second arrow.

For 15 years and older, the longest distance is 50 yards.

For Youths (12-14 yo), the longest distance is 40 yards.

For Cubs (11 yo & under), the longest distance is 25 yards.
